YouTube Gaming Reaches New Milestone in 2025
In 2025, YouTube Gaming achieved a record 8.8 billion hours watched, a notable 12% increase from the previous year. This growth signifies that nearly 25% of all hours spent on live-streaming gaming platforms were consumed on YouTube Gaming channels. Stream Hatchet, a data analytics firm under GameSquare Holdings, released this information in their 2025 YouTube Gaming Trends Report.
The report highlights YouTube Gaming's expansion, driven by increased interest in sponsored streams, especially in Q4 2025 with 4.5 million hours watched. Key insights include the dominance of Gen Z viewers and the popularity of esports titles like League of Legends and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, both exceeding 400 million hours watched. The revival of short-form content also contributed significantly to the platform’s growth.
GameSquare Holdings' CEO, Justin Kenna, emphasized that the surge aligns with shifting consumer behaviors and brand engagement strategies. This trend strengthens GameSquare's position in the creator-driven digital ecosystem.
